1967 Plymouth Fury III 4dr Hardtop. Classic MoPar 318 V8 Car show and drive.

The original owner of this '67 Fury was Roland Lewis of Georgetown, KY. He was a veteran of World War II, serving in northern Africa and Italy. This Fury remained with the family for a long time. It was even driven to Disney World on a family trip the year it opened! The Disney World sticker is still on the bumper! His daughter drove this car through college and when she married this car was used in the wedding. Roland passed away in 2005 and the car was stored in the garage until 2020 and the car was eventually sold to a friend of the family. I purchased the car in April 2023 with hopes of restoring it but decided to sell the car to someone who could work on it sooner than I could instead of letting the car sit. I hope this car continues to live and will be seen driving down the highway in the future!

In 1977 while in college and very poor, I desperately bought a 67 Fury wagon for $300 from an older couple who used it to tow their boat. Forrest green, 318, power steering, brakes, heavy-duty radiator and transmission cooler, power rear window and an AM/FM radio. 30k original miles, not a scratch, dent, sign of wear and tear on the interior, or speck of rust. The couple had just put on a brand-new set of radial tires. Drove effortlessly for 2.5 years without a single problem to about 80k miles. Sold it for $300 after graduation and moving out of state. In the 80's, while visiting, the guy I sold it to still drove it around. Still looked the same! I've owned over 55 cars in my life, this was the best car I ever owned.

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

I’d love to have a wagon version!

[@johnmccann3964]

I had a 67 Fury II, 318, gold with a gold interior back in the mid 90s. Sure was fun to drive.

[@donaldperrotta8514]

I always loved the 1967 Plymouths. !

[@rickloera9468]

That is one amazing car. I wish i had the resources to own that car. Id tske it in a second. I have always loved the late 50's and 60's cars.

[@bill90405]

I think the 64-69 Chrysler Corp. cars were about the best they made from the standpoint of performance and durability

[@danielthoman7324]

I like those fender mounted turn signals. Not too many cars had them even back then. You could buy those signals in some auto supply stores stores and Put them on whatever car you had. I used to think that was so cool. 😅

[@clembob8004]

Nice old Fury! Those were some of the nicest Furys in those years. Pretty well built and dependable as a rock especially with a 318.

[@ThomasG.-hh9gg]

30 years ago I bought a 1968 Plymouth fury 3,4 door hardtop with a 318 v8. That 318 is a damn good motor. I Lost a job because of that fury. IT WAS WORTH IT!!!!!!

[@mrBILL-sr2cu]

My dad purchased a well-kept, clean '68 Fury III four door sedan with the 318 and factory air conditioning as a first car for me back in 1977. I didn't appreciate it at the time, but it was a perfect first car. Good running with ice cold air conditioning - but a 10 year old Plymouth sedan was not the "in" thing to have back in 1977-78!

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

Ice cold air sounds pretty nice for those days!

[@mrBILL-sr2cu]

@@ObsoleteAutomotive It was nice, cold, and quiet operating (and you go easy on that slant six/3 speed Coronet. That column linkage needs to be treated a little less rough. I don't want to sound like I am fussing at you, just some friendly advice)

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

@@mrBILL-sr2cu I have yet to have any trouble with my column shifts manuals. I have several other cars equipped with them. They are plenty robust and I’ve driven them much harder than in this video! Sure one can drive slower but the purpose was to show that the car isn’t a slouch if need be. Thanks for watching!

[@dwi189]

That car was definitely well cared for.....The interior looks like it is from a few year old car rather than 56 years old. The fact that it was used for transportation to college is impressive as well given the car's condition.

[@tomtbi]

pretty decent shape for its age...

[@TigerDominic-uh1dv]

It's not in that bad of condition it would be a great Project 😊

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

It could be a driver with relative ease. And I’ve had far worse!

[@timothykeith1367]

Thats a handsome Fury. I like the stacked headlight cars of the 60s.

[@XXSLEDGEHAMMER360XX]

Awesome!

[@douglasnieblas74]

Wow that brings up memories. I owned a 1967 Plymouth Fury III convertible back in the 1990s.

[@johncaballero8013]

Love the old Fury’s. Well built automobiles. Wonderful cruiser.

[@martayking8694]

My brother had a 67 Sports Fury convertible. Was a fast car

[@timothyharrison8953]

For the longest time, these were family hand me down cars to learner drivers. $500 when I was a young adult in the early eighties. Just transportation. I can't believe what some people ask for them now 😕.

[@MyWillypilly]

reliability, cheap maintenance. I'd drive that to west coast without a thought.

[@chrisparsons7043]

Another great video, my favourite Fury models are 67 2 door and 70 Sport Fury 4-door. Nice to be able to see the interior of the 67 Fury III 😎

[@gasser66]

Neat rig, thanks for the tour. 🎵You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion🎵🎵

[@404goldie7]

Great to see! I owned a Turbine Bronze 4 door sedan for a few years around 2000, great sturdy dependable nice driving Mopar, '67 was the best year for the 318 with a forged (?) crankshaft.I love those taillights, and they never line up. Love the sound when you shut the doors. A guy offered me cash on the spot at a car show, before I even knew it, it was gone. Thank you for keeping it safe for the WWII Vet and his family.

[@seanmcgivney7631]

I haven't seen those fender mounted turn signals since I was very young. Thank you for including that.

[@danielthoman7324]

I used to think they were so cool.

[@courtneymoyer1637]

Nice car👍🏾

[@markwilliams5606]

Had one just like it. Same color. 318. Very dependable Plymouth. 🇺🇸🐴

[@artiedeko]

when l saw the license plate l was laughing! l lived in Ky when the smiley face plates came out.People were complaining so much Ky's DMV let you put a little round yellow sticker on the smiley face to cover it up!🤣

[@kipbrown1549]

Do the rust repair and paint it and you will have a very very cool looking car inside and out /////////// Being a hardtop makes it look so cool ////////////

[@jamespn]

I remember seeing new 1967 Plymouth Furys at Raynal Brothers Dodge Plymouth in Detroit on Outer Drive and Chalmers Aves.

[@brianandglendaharkin9457]

I had in the 90s 2 68 Dodge phoenix both pilliares 383 big block one blue black vinyl top blue trim plus a white 383 pillares big block white with black trim I like the 68 rear end better all our hardtops were 383 👍🏻🇦🇺. Be a nice car with some TLC .

[@jeffreyrigged]

close to home there lol. I like that thing. If i where a mopar guy id be all over it.

[@Liberty-tn3rs]

Kentucky part of the rustbelt states, amazingly car except for rust not bad. 318 was a good engine , for I had a 1973 Plymouth valiant.

[@gene978]

In 1967 out of Chevy, Ford, Plymouth, or Dodge, I wonder which I would have chosen? The Dodge exterior was interesting, the Chevy Coke bottle design was nice, the Ford was probably most quiet riding, the Plymouth like this one seems plain to me was probably very dependable. All were Rust prone here in the N.E.

[@robertmoore5287]

That green paint in the trunk is rust-oleum.

[@martayking8694]

My father-in-law had the exact car same color

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

I really like the color.

[@LongIslandMopars]

For that drivers side mirror control, I helped a friend pull apart a 68 New Yorker last year for usable parts before the body got scrapped. I remember taking the mirror assembly out to get the armrests and door cards off. If its still around, you want me to find out if the mirror assembly is available?

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

I actually traded this car for the ‘57 Ford in my other videos. But thanks for the thought!

[@LongIslandMopars]

@@ObsoleteAutomotive No prob. I spent most of today watching your Mopar content. Very cool.

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

@@LongIslandMopars Thanks for watching!

[@poky1958]

i can't believe they mad a plymouth fury without air conditioning

[@joemazzola7387]

It's only original once I would just clean it up Clay bar then Polish and wax
